The only highlight of the trip was we were able to climb the Great wall...very cold and windy... Since then, my wife and I shun China....didn't had a good impression of the food and the pple and surrounding (especially the toilet..u know the usual in 2008) My 2nd trip was to Shanghai in 2016, again Business trip....but wifey didn't tag along, gave up.....and my my, surprised they have changed so much...Shanghai, the Bund... was mobbed...literally mobbed on the streets...evening walking back to the hotel...the girls are so outspoken...and if i was 30 yrs younger and single, sure die standing!! So didn't spend a lot of travel in China.....maybe i should change my prespective soon and pay them a visit....but my mandarin is for market mandarin, sure laugh die them... SH now even better. Cleaner, more polite, much cleaner air (thans5yo EVs) reasonable prices and I find it much better than Seoul. Even my wify liked it. ↡ Advertisement 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

therock Supersonic August 6 Author Share August 6 (edited) After lunch we had some time, so we visited the Gansu Musuem.. not too bad especially if you're into Buddhist relics..

Northern city food has less cooking variety and more meat. Some also have extremely oily, salty and spicy food. Southern city from Shanghai downwards has more option and towards city line Xiamen has a lot of good seafood. I can accept all type of food and not only Chinese food but all country I visit. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is either got Siberian Cold Air or Gobi Desert Sand Storm. SH still suffers from SMOG from the north. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

therock Supersonic August 6 Author Share August 6 No need to install... I just pay the person with wepay at the end of the trip... Most meals and major expenses are taken care of anyway, so I didn't need a lot of cash... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
therock Supersonic August 6 Author Share August 6 A lot of the food is spicy here, albeit less so than Yunnan food, but beware if you are like me and can't take too much hot food.. There are enough options for Muslims, and those who can't take too much chili, and of course vegetarian options too 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
